As a member of the LGBTQIA+ groups and stream family friendly content. This is harmful to myself and others like me. If you are refering to sexual acts implicitly, this should be made clear. As it stands this rule makes it seem that if you are talking about "what affects you" in this community this should be flagged. Where if a heterosexual person was to mention it, it is deemed to be fine. Be aware that many don't have local safe spaces and use your platform to create one, that for all intent and purposes are family friendly, who speak of there issues, this could be helpful to others suffering. People who may not be able to access "mature content" or don't like having that option turned on.

Yeah, I don't even see this as a political issue or a "sensitivity" issue at all. This is just common sense. Why censor anything that doesn't need to be censored? Most of it is either wholesome content or people simply expressing themselves by just existing. Even if it wasn't wholesome per se, if it isn't actively harmful/trauma-inducing, hyper violent, or sexually explicit (i.e. p0rn in an all-ages space), then there isn't really a valid reason to shut it down.

Also, on a macro-level, this strategy towards so-called "sensitive social issues" makes it harder to have constructive dialogue between different social groups and walls off communities from each other.

My identity and my friend’s identities are not ‘sensitive political issues’
Instead they could focus on removing bigots from this platform.. what a novel idea.

How are lgbtq topics comparable to topics like war, politics, tragedies, ect. This is ridiculous, thanks for voting everybody. Can’t even talk about just existing as a trans person these days (/j)

I am LGBT+ and I'm a person, not a "sensitive political issue."

The fact that Twitch is even considering to label any form of minority as controversial is absolutely disgusting and a gigantic step backward in social progress. My heart goes to all the people this will affect and I pray deeply that this horrible idea is to be cancelled, as it shouldn’t have been even thought of in the first place. Be strong, my friends, and do not give up.

Bullet points five and 6 under article VII of your newly updated content classification guidelines directly target minorities and aid bad actors in driving those minorities off of Twitch. I understand you don't want people holding political rallies on your site, but these guidelines are far too broad and could easily be leveraged by politically motivated bigots to attack those who are trying to be their honest selves.

I am a person, not politics.

Me existing should not be a sensitive social issue oh my god

People should be allowed to talk about their existence and sexuality without any issues. Censoring LGBTQ+ content isn't a solution

This isn't enforceable. You are not going to make every stream tag themselves this way. Don't pretend this vague langauge is enforeable.

Yeah, This got my vote.

Oh, So simply existing as a trans person and answering questions about it when asked makes my whole stream a "sensitive social issue"?

Its stuff like this that twitch pushes that pushes it as an even BIGGER social issue! It's such a disgusting thing to do and only pushes vulnerable persons into an even more precarious position!

I hope forcing a certain group of people to tag themselves based on a characteristic they were born with so everyone around can see it reminds not only me of the worst times of one particular country

How is my desire to simply exist a sensitive social issue? Way to support bigotry Twitch.

Lowkey becoming Kick at this point BAHAHAHA

No, my existence is not political, I will never flag it so. This is actually anti lgtbt behaviour twitch, it's not ok. to which you are doing more and more, as well as the sexism. stop it.

What a cool return to labelling us queer folk with a pink triangle, nicely done Twitch /s

How is my literal existence a "sensitive social issue"

And Twitch wonders why viewership has been dropping. I only saw this, because it crossed my feed on another site.
